Nari is the life of the party, and she'll get along great with other dogs. She's already vaccinated.
From Nari's current caretaker:
Nari is a typical puppy. She loves squeaky toys and will chase a ball for hours. She is as sweet as can be and will happily plop into your lap if you sit on the floor. She is quick to warm up to new people and dogs. She is a snuggle bug and loves to cuddle and give kisses. She is an absolute baby, but loves to play and would love a companion in her forever home.
